Canadian Forces M1 Steel Helmet With Woodland Cover

The Canadian Forces M1 Steel Helmet with Woodland Cover is a military-issue protective helmet used by Canadian armed forces during the late 20th century. Modeled after the American M1 design, this helmet consists of a steel shell and a separate liner, providing both ballistic protection and improved comfort for the wearer. The attached woodland camouflage cover is constructed from durable fabric and features a universal pattern used to enhance soldier concealment in forested environments. The helmet is equipped with adjustable webbing and a chin strap system to ensure a secure and comfortable fit. This model saw service with Canadian troops from the post–Second World War period through to the adoption of composite helmet designs in the 1990s. The Canadian Forces M1 Steel Helmet with Woodland Cover is representative of Cold War–era headgear and remains of interest to collectors of 20th-century Canadian military equipment and uniforms.
